Putnam was delivering c lecture on American democracy to Q | large audience. and while he was as- | ssGlting the Christian religion, O. c. | Hamilton, young attorney, disturbed the speaker. and on being told to sIt down by the chairman be became SO en- ragged that he grssped lighted coal oil lamp and threw it at the speaker. He then grabed d second one to throw. but was prevented from doing so. While | leaving the hall he waived & burning lamp above his head, scattering the burning coal oil all oyer the audience. Grert excitement prevailed. Women and children screamed aud rushed for the door. A number of women and children fell from the top to the bottom of the stairs and piled up in a heap. Fortunately Ihe lamp he threw missed his victim and passed out of the room through 6 window. or It might have set the rOom on fire and been the cause of great loss of life.

 BERLIN. May 1.-The Commissioners on Spirit Tax held 8 preliminary sitting yesterday. The Composition COmmis- siOn gives so strong majority to the suggestion of a bill that there is chance that any amendment will be other than that the Government chooses. The Su- gar Tax Bill vss passed by the Bande- sarth today and will be presented tO the Reichsteg next week. An effort will be made to have this measure pass to its | first reading before WhItsuutide. The bill gives in part the duty from August | lst. 1888, on syrup and mollRssS, at 10 marks per 100 kilogrammes: upon all Ot her sugar, 30 marks per 100 kilogrsm- mes; on beet roots, l mark and on beet root sugar, home made, 10 marks per l 100 kilOgrsmmss. Further, from th5 same date. the export bounty of 10 marks per 100 kilOgrames will be paid on raw sugar and for other sugar exports the bOunties of F. marks. The Reichstag will overtake, during the ptesent session. some of the social measures. The first Of these to be taken up will be the Sea mems Accident Insurance Bill, cOmmis slon on which is now sittirg. The Agr- sraian party has definitely succeeded in inducing the Government to prepare bill raising the duties on corn and wool
 Herr Von SchOl. Minister of Finance has this bIll in hand. It Is reported that its leading proposals nearly double the import duties on corn. rye and wool. The opposition to these proposals less ens under the irritation caused by the Russian tariff which are hostile to Ger many. Official advises from St, Peters burg to-day declare that there Is a marked improvement in Russian rela- tons with GermsDy. and that the entente cordials with Prince Bismarck has been renewed, despite the pOlemic over the l AustrO-Russian treaty regarding the | occupation of Besnia. This statement | conflicts with the feeling ID Berlin Off- | oial circles, and Is interpreted Es an in- dicatiOn of dread of further revelations of the new intrigue on the part of Rus sra, who, it Is alleged, IS trying to in- duce Austria to abandon her German allegiance. the origin of the recent dis clOsing now known to be discovered by Prince Bismarck, that Russia was mak ing approaches for another secret treaty with Austria with the Objsct of detsch- ing her from Germany.
 This disclosure has effected its pur- pose of frustrating the Russian game, and obliging the Austrian government tO summArily refuse tO consider any ar engagements not known to Germany.
 Herr Sizza, the Hungarian Premier. will be questioned next week m the dlet at Pesth for the purpose of eliciting in- formation as tO the relations between AustriG aud Russia, but 1t IS imprObs- ble that Sizza will be m position to make an explicit declaration He can certainly venture tO say nothing about a new Russian intrigue. the suspicion of which increases the anger Ot the Hun earian deputies of the ReichstAg com pact of 1876, in tine face of the RGssian underground plotting and open tariff bostllities. The efforts to eItIu guish the Germans n ike Baltic province by verbal assurances coming from St. Petersburg, are held of small account. The Post referring to the CZar's edics suppressIng the German language ID the house, declares that this Is the hard est blow ever struck at the German and European civilization m the Baltic provinces, lt involves the exterPafiOr of the German element of Doorpst Uni versity, and will intensity the bitterness of the anti Russian sentiment felt throughout Germany,
